-  By default, function proto 'void foo(string bar)' creates the following:
-     ...
-     zval **bar;
-     ... (zend_get_parameters_ex() called in the middle...)
-     convert_to_string_ex(bar);
-
-  Specifying both of these options changes the generated code to:
-     ...
-     zval **bar_arg;
-     int bar_len;
-     char *bar = NULL;
-     ... (zend_get_parameters_ex() called in the middle...)

-     bar = Z_STRVAL_PP(bar_arg);
-     bar_len = Z_STRLEN_PP(bar_arg);
